Thwack gone AWOL

The SLEEP:

SIX hours. in 2 spells , 1-4 and before 7 to before 10.

If one does not snack in the evening, one sometimes decides one is hungry even if one wakes up too early.

Also time for sure to make some oatmeal, the weekly pot of porridge, even though the sink situation fills RantWoman with despair of cleaning a big pot.

The rest of the data: no evening snacking because laundry. But got laundry done in record time partly because no one else was in the laundry room until someone came in to wash as most of my stuff except one last load was already drying. 

Sending an email, a voicemail and a paper form through the designated slot has now generated at least acknowledgment of the drainage problems. Now, about actual repairs.

Somewhere in the laundry maelstrom, Thwack the cane has gone missing. RantWoman actually has 5 scratch that SIX canes. They collectively are known as Ambassador Thwack though sometimes they get fussy and one or another might ask to be referred to as Deputy Chief of Mission instead of Ambassador. All but one are the same length. The other is 2" shorter. 4 of them prefer male pronouns. 2 are fine with female pronouns. Yes of course they are inanimate objects that does not mean there are no stories. Linguistically the sticks used by blind people are male in some languages and female in others. Around RantWoman the male identified ones tend to be really butch about mud puddles and the risks of running into larger inanimate objects. The female identified ones are both physically lighter so they handle and sound differently than the others. They tend to be a little better at tact and diplomacy. They like to roll around indoors on carpets. They are amused by the protective gallantry of the male-identified ones partly because they know they can pull that off too if needed.

Anyway, the male Thwack that was with RantWoman doing laundry has gone missing. RantWoman has checked. He did not get left in the shopping cart used to haul the laundry. He also has not turned up in any ofthe places RantWoman thought she had put him. So another Thwack is on duty today. Sigh. And RantWoman needs to finish restringing the third longer male Thwack.

But enough. RantWoman needs to take advantage of functioning brain cells to write some emails, to attempt to assimilate some pretty complex transpo network content for a meeting tonight, and hopefully to work in a walk 

Note to self: in the zone of signs and miracles and metaphors waiting to be turned into...

The Fathers and Sons drama from the other night.

some stuff about colorism in one book group and tangled with disability / BIPOC conversation.

the bit about hacking off body parts from the book of Mark and the bible study. Also scars.

Now enough: there is laundry coin issues email to write. There is free masks info to distribute. And ...

but one more thing: the morning stretches and very light aerobics really DO help.
